What is
Pledging?
A "Pledge" or "New Member" is defined as any student who
has entered into membership within a fraternity or sorority prior to
initiation. Each fraternity's pledge process, or "New Member Education
Program" varies a great deal, but most are designed to teach the
fraternity's values, history, and traditions to the new members so that when
the time comes they will be ready to become initiated brothers.
Kappa Sigma has a specifically designed quarterly schedule where a
"Brotherhood Development Coordinator" will teach our pledges through
the "Brotherhood Development Program," or BDP for short. Our BDP
consists of week-to-week events and exercises that revolve around the history
and values of Kappa Sigma and the Greek System as a whole. Every member can
attest that while they were pledges, they had some of the greatest times of
their college careers.
